1. Entertainment: parties, shows and family moments
This is the fun side: the days families celebrate, from a first birthday to Santa at the door.
Kids birthday parties
Our birthday parties are active and sporty, run by coaches, for children aged 1 to 13. We come to you: your home, a villa, a hotel, a restaurant, a community hall or an outdoor space. Birthday Essential is AED 1,850 + VAT (up to 12 children, 60 minutes, 1 entertainer). Birthday Plus, the one most parents pick, is AED 3,800 + VAT (12 to 25 children, 90 minutes, 2 entertainers). Birthday Signature is AED 4,600 + VAT (25 to 35 children, 90 minutes, 3 entertainers).
Every package includes the team, the themed games and activities, someone running the party from arrival to cake, and transport anywhere in Dubai. You can choose from 40+ party themes. See our birthday packages.
Decoration and party add-ons
Decoration is never bundled into a package, so you only pay for what you actually want. A themed backdrop with balloons and a cake stand is AED 2,100 + VAT, and a costume character mascot starts from AED 950 + VAT. Browse all 56 add-ons, with prices.
Kids workshops
Hands-on workshops for birthdays, schools, nurseries and company family days. Kids make something, learn something and go home proud of it. See our kids workshops.
Live shows
Magic, bubble and puppet shows, plus gymnastics and football shows. A show works on its own or as the highlight of a birthday, a school event or a family day. See our magic show.
Festivals and seasonal events
For malls, companies and government clients, we run family festivals and seasonal events: activity stations that keep going all event long, live shows, and programmes for Eid, summer and the festive season. See events for organisations.
Weekend brunch entertainment
Every weekend our hosts look after the kids inside partner restaurants, so parents can actually enjoy their brunch. Right now that is CLAP on Sundays (1 to 5 pm) and Bebabel (2 to 5 pm). We ran 93 brunches in Dubai between January and August 2026. See our brunch entertainment.
Hosted playdates
For classmates or cousins who want an organised get-together without a full birthday. From 6 to 25 children, at one flat price: AED 1,200 + VAT for 60 minutes or AED 1,850 + VAT for 90 minutes. From 16 children, a second entertainer joins for AED 800 + VAT. See our playdates.
Social Fun group sessions
Small groups of 3 to 8 children with a trained host, so every child gets more attention and an easier way to make friends. Ask us about Social Fun on WhatsApp.
Santa visits at home
Every December, Santa and his elf visit homes anywhere in Dubai, transport included: Santa's Hello (15 minutes, AED 950 + VAT), Santa's Party (30 minutes, AED 1,700 + VAT) or Santa's Workshop (40 minutes, AED 2,300 + VAT). Santa hands each child the family's gifts by name. Our Santa plays a very old, very funny, slightly grumpy man who says he only came for your milk and cookies; behind the act he is full of energy and very caring with the kids. See our Santa visits.
2. Education and sport: camps, coaching and child development
This is where play turns into skills. We call it edutainment, and senior coaches lead every camp and programme.
Kids camps in every Dubai school break
There is a La Folie camp in every Dubai school break. Winter Camp 2026 runs 14 to 31 December, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 1 pm (closed 25 December and 1 January), at AED 290 per child per day or AED 1,350 for the 5-day first week, excluding 5% VAT. See all our camps or the Winter Camp 2026 details.
It runs at two partner venues, with the same dates and prices. Grip Sports in Jumeirah Heights (ages 2.5 to 12) is the sporty one: tennis, padel, football, basketball and gymnastics. HandPrint in Umm Suqeim 1 (ages 3 to 12) is the edutainment one: languages through games, arts and crafts, STEM and outdoor play.
Child Development Programmes (CDP)
Our Child Development Programmes are 1-on-1 to 1-on-4 sessions with professional trainers, for parents who want focused attention for their child. They work on psychomotor, sensory, social, emotional and cognitive skills. A trial session is AED 349 + VAT, a single session AED 410 + VAT and 10 sessions AED 3,900 + VAT. See our CDP.
Specialist coaches: swimming, gymnastics, football, MMA and chess
Swimming, gymnastics, football, mixed martial arts (MMA) and chess coaches, plus tennis and padel at our camps. Every coach is trained in child psychology and first aid, because a child's confidence matters as much as the technique. Ask us about a coach on WhatsApp.
Schools and nurseries
After-school clubs and enrichment for schools and nurseries in Dubai and across the UAE, as single sessions or full terms, with background-checked coaches who are used to working in schools. See our school partnerships.
3. Corporate: team building, family days and brand activations
For companies, government clients, schools, malls and hotels in Dubai, the UAE and the GCC. Send us your brief and you get a tailored proposal within one business day.
Team building for adults
Yes, grown-ups too. Sports, mind games and creative challenges that get colleagues working together, half-day or full-day, indoors or outdoors, for 10 to 300+ people. See our corporate events.
Bring Your Kids to Work days
Parents show their children where they work, and our hosts plan and run the children's programme, so the kids stay busy, supervised and happy. Plan a Bring Your Kids to Work day.
Product launches and brand activations
For brands that want to reach Dubai families: mall pop-ups, retail moments, brunch partnerships and seasonal activations for Eid, summer and the festive season, with a setup that looks great in photos. Ask us for a proposal.
Family festivals and family days
Corporate family days and branded family festivals across the UAE and the GCC, with the whole children's programme: activity stations, sessions split by age (1 to 3, 4 to 6 and 7+) and live shows, plus branding and decoration on request. From a team gathering to a festival with several hundred guests. See our family days.
School activations and fun days

What do parents say about La Folie?
We'd rather let parents speak. Here are ten real Google reviews, copied word for word, from birthdays, camps, coaching, restaurant brunches and corporate events. Parents often name the coach who looked after their child: Michel, Jo, Marc and Katerina all come up.
La Folie UAE is THE reference when it comes to kids entertainment. Besides just doing amazing with kids, the company is so genuine, every person we dealt with was adorable, service was impeccable. They helped us organize and run the best party for our son's birthday and by all means we won't look elsewhere for his next birthday.
La Folie are pure kid-magic! I call them the Pied Piper of Party Time, they can gather every kid (even the super-bouncy, zoom-zoom ones!) and have them laughing, dancing, and totally involved. Zero stress for us grown-ups, maximum fun for the kiddos!
Over the past two years, La Folie has become more than entertainment providers but rather a family to us. They have been with us for all my kids' birthdays, treating it as if it's their own, catering to every detail, going the extra mile, helping with every aspect and bringing so much life and joy to all our celebrations. I cannot recommend them enough!
We are very very happy with their kids camp! My kids absolutely love it. The coaches and teachers are amazing, very professional, friendly, and supportive. My kids actually learned to play tennis and made many new friends. Highly recommended!
Michel is a great coach for both my kids and has a unique way of dealing and communicating with two very distinct characters. They look forward to their sessions.
Everything they do is filled with creativity, care, and so much heart. Michel is honestly exceptional, always smiling, full of positive energy, and so genuinely kind and it means so much to see how happy and comfortable the kids feel around him. Also a special mention to Jo! Kids just adore him! La Folie always goes above and beyond, and I couldn't recommend them more for camps, workshops, or any celebration.
Marc and Katerina from La Folie team did an amazing job at my Daughter's birthday! Super recommended
Honestly, the entertainment was incredible! It's clear that Michel is passionate about what he does, his energy and enthusiasm was the highlight of the event. He switched between French, Arabic, and English, which made it even more engaging for everyone.
We've been working with La Folie for over a year now, from our Sunday Lunch activations at CLAP to our Christmas Brunch at KIRA. Their team is always professional, reliable and amazing with the kids, adapting their activities to every season and occasion.
Working with La Folie is true peace of mind. From their meticulous attention to detail to their understanding of the expectations of a corporate setting, every aspect is handled with professionalism and care.
